Built by orthopaedic surgeons for orthopaedic surgeons. One clinical pipeline drives every output — enter the encounter once, and the consult note, operation note, PROMS dispatch, and research record all follow. The consequence: substantial time recovered, every week.
Surgeons cobble together separate tools that never talk to each other — and none were built for the way you actually document a subspecialty case. ORTHOReD brings them into one place, driven by a single clinical pipeline.
Replaced by structured capture that produces the consult and operation note directly — deterministic, no transcription.
The surgical logbook is auto-generated from the cases you already captured.
CPD activity logs itself as you work — nothing to reconcile at renewal.
The research dataset accumulates automatically — every encounter is a structured data point.
Questionnaires dispatch and score themselves at fixed timepoints, with deterioration alerts.
Information sheets, rehab protocols and exercise programmes live on the platform and attach to the note.
The surgeon enters structured clinical content once. From that single entry the platform renders the consult note, operation note, PROMS dispatch, and research record — the same pattern as an online order producing a confirmation, invoice, and receipt.
Demographics, background, history, examination, diagnosis, plan, surgery, follow-up — structured fields, not free text.
Data import on returning patients, preset templates for surgical technique and management, and saved equipment preferences — all working to save you time.
Templates deal effortlessly with your standard cases — most encounters are a few taps. When a case is non-standard, the full structured system is right there to capture every detail.
Both documents produced from the captured data — same day, no transcription, no backlog.
PDF (branded, primary) and Word at Phase 1; an EMR-paste rendering for Epic, Cerner, athena and equivalents from Phase 2.
Pre- and post-operative questionnaires dispatched automatically, scored server-side, shown as longitudinal trajectories.
A significant score drop alerts surgeon and PA simultaneously — no coordinator required.
Every encounter is a prospective structured data point — no separate research entry, no extraction, no harmonisation.
Filter on any field, plain-English cohort description, CSV for SPSS/R/Stata — data extraction from weeks to thirty seconds.
The record holds what matters clinically — categorised for ease of use, not a data dump. Find the diagnosis, the operative detail, the prior notes at a glance.
Every image is tagged to its diagnosis, so the whole library becomes searchable that way — pull every rotator-cuff case, every specific finding, in seconds.
Surgical logbook, CPD log, billing tracking and complications log — all auto-populated from the same encounter capture.
Information sheets, rehabilitation protocols and exercise programmes linked to each consult note for the patient.
Drag-drop, browse, or iPad camera capture at the encounter, rolled into a diagnosis-tagged patient gallery.
Every generated document and linked resource — stored, hashable for integrity, reconstructable indefinitely.
Security isn't a feature bolted on — it's the foundation a medicolegal archive depends on. Encrypted, access-controlled, hosted in your region, and immutable by design.
Patient data encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted in your jurisdiction's region.
Images and documents stored privately — no public links, no shared URLs. Nothing is exposed beyond your deployment.
Generated documents are write-protected and hashable for integrity — a record can't be silently altered.
Built to meet healthcare data-protection requirements, with a full audit trail underneath.
Not a generic EMR, not an ambient scribe — a subspecialty-specific platform built for the individual surgeon.
EMRs serve hospitals and bill payers; ORTHOReD serves the surgeon's documentary life. Each subspecialty has its own taxonomy of anatomy, classifications and treatments, built by senior surgeons in that field and captured as structured fields, not buried in prose.
The clinical pipeline produces structured field values. The consult note, operation note, logbook, billing, PROMS schedule and research dataset all derive from that one capture event — automatic, immediate, and mutually consistent.
Documentation, logbook, CPD, PROMS, equipment preferences, billing codes, patient resources and the research dataset all live in one application — not a stack of disconnected tools. It sits alongside your institutional or practice software, not in place of it.
Book a demo, or start sign-up — ready to go out of the box, with no setup required.
ORTHOReD is designed by a practising orthopaedic surgeon and governed by a Scientific Advisory Board of senior subspecialists — clinical depth no horizontal platform can match.
Every orthopaedic surgeon cobbles together the same fragmented stack — dictation or an AI scribe for notes, a separate logbook app, a separate CPD log, and a research spreadsheet that never quite gets filled in. None of them talk to each other, and none of them were built for the way a surgeon actually documents a subspecialty case.
ORTHOReD started from a different premise: capture the clinical encounter once, as structured data, and let every document, every outcome measure, and the research dataset flow from that single source. The surgeon is the authority — the platform records what the surgeon asserts, and renders it deterministically, every time.
Designed by a practising orthopaedic surgeon who lives the documentation problem daily — not a generic health-IT vendor adapting a horizontal product.
A Scientific Advisory Board of senior subspecialists governs the clinical taxonomy, outcome scores, and research direction. Each subspecialty's model is built by senior surgeons in that field.
The research layer is opt-in and consent-based. Your data stays yours unless you choose to share it; collaborative datasets are de-identified and surgeon-controlled.
Documentation is generated from structured fields, never probabilistic transcription. A deterministic record is a defence — reproducible for the life of the medicolegal archive.
The Phase 1 platform covers shoulder and elbow practice and is in final development. Hip, knee, and further subspecialties follow — each with its own taxonomy built by senior surgeons in that field. The architecture is the same throughout: one structured capture, many rendered outputs, a research dataset that accumulates as a byproduct of ordinary clinical work.
"ORTHOReD is the platform I wanted as a surgeon — one place for the clinical record, the documents it produces, the outcomes that follow, and the research that should fall out of all of it. Built by orthopaedic surgeons, for orthopaedic surgeons."

Start capturing the moment you sign in — no setup required. Then tune ORTHOReD to your practice and build the habits that turn everyday clinical work into finished documents, tracked outcomes, and a research dataset.
ORTHOReD is ready to use out of the box. There's no mandatory setup and nothing to work through before you begin — configure as much or as little as you like, whenever it suits you.
Start immediately. Sensible library defaults cover document styles, patient resources, and PROMS timing — you can begin capturing encounters straight away and never touch a setting.
Prefer everything dialled in before you start? Configure your profile, document styles, surgery preferences, and patient resources up front, then begin with the platform tuned to your practice.
Most surgeons start with the defaults and refine in flow — swap in your letterhead, add a hospital or assistant, upload a rehab protocol the first time you need it. Nothing is ever locked.
Everything below has a working default. Change any of it at any time from Settings — once, or gradually as you go.
No new habits to build. Just document the encounter as you normally would — the platform turns that single act into everything below, automatically.
Structured capture finishes during the consult — the note is ready before the patient leaves. No dictation, no transcription, no backlog to clear at the end of the day.
On a follow-up, prior data is already there — confirm what hasn't changed and document only what has. The platform holds the operative detail, PROMS trajectory, and prior notes; nothing is re-entered.
Standard surgical approaches pre-populate the op note — you record only what differed. Those departures quietly build a knowledge base of your real practice over time.
Questionnaires dispatch and score automatically at fixed timepoints, with deterioration alerts straight to you and your PA. No coordinator, no manual chasing.
Every encounter is a prospective data point — no separate research entry. When you're ready to publish, the cohort builder gives you a plain-English description and a CSV in seconds.
Generating a consult note can attach the diagnosis-specific information sheet, rehabilitation protocol, and exercise programme in the same email — automatically, not as a separate task.
